The Only Man Left: A Delightful Depiction of Post-World War I Courtship by George Ranstead Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of a world recovering from the devastating impact of World War I, a young boy, with an earnest expression and a bundle of roses, approaches a tall, poised female office worker. The year is 1919, and the gender imbalance wrought by the war has left the young man as the 'only man left' in the office. With a furtive glance around, he extends an invitation for a night at the theatre, his heart pounding with anticipation. Ranstead's original pen and ink drawing, titled 'The Only Man Left,' captures the essence of a historical moment in time when the ratio of men to women was dramatically skewed due to the war. The humorous commentary on courtship during this era is brought to life through the body language and expressions of the characters. The young man's hopeful yet apprehensive demeanor contrasts with the woman's cool, collected composure, as she considers his proposal. The office setting, with its typewriters, telephones, and stacks of papers, serves as a stark reminder of the working world that these characters inhabit. The warm, inviting glow of the theatre marquee outside the window offers a tantalizing escape from the daily grind. The playful, yet poignant interaction between the two characters invites us to reflect on the complexities of romance and the enduring human spirit in the face of adversity. Ranstead's masterful use of pen and ink creates a captivating image that transports us back to a bygone era, filled with both humor and historical significance. This print is a testament to the power of art to evoke emotion and transport us to another time and place.
